History

After the Chinese government made announcement condemning the Soviet military invasion of Afghanistan on 30 December 1979, and refused to recognize the Soviet-backed Karmal government, the official relationship was stopped, and the Chinese embassy was degraded to representative office, and only dealt with consular and visa issues. ^[1]

The embassy was kept open after the Taliban takeover in 2021. ^{[2] [3]}
